Vehicle Summary
The Z4 coupe and roadster offer a different shade of gray paint for 2008, and the standard wheels grew an inch in the roadster's optional Sport Package. Otherwise, the Z4 models are completely unchanged for the 2008 model year. They're available both in base and high-performance M versions. The Z4 competes in the market directly with the Audi TT, Mercedes-Benz SLK, Porsche Boxster and even the Chevrolet Corvette. Ignoring price, other roadsters include the Mazda MX-5 Miata on the low end and the Mercedes SL-Class on the high.
